With Cage Lock technology in the rear derailleur, wheel removal and installation—as well as chain installation - becomes faster and simpler. Just pushing the cage forward to create slack and lock it into place.

X-HORIZON:

The X-HORIZON rear derailleur’s ‘straight parallelogram’ design limits all movement to the horizontal axis, which makes ghost shifting impossible while also reducing shift force. For quicker, more exact shifting, the large upper pulley offset design maintains a constant chain gap across all gears.

X-ACTUATION:

Developed specifically for SRAM 1X, X-ACTUATION keeps shifting sharp and consistent across the entire 10- to 42-tooth cassette.

SRAM Corporation is a bicycle component manufacturer based in Chicago, Illinois, founded in 1987. SRAM is an acronym comprising the names of its founders; Scott, Ray, and sAM, (where Ray is the middle name of company head Stan Day).

SRAM began with the goal of creating the absolute best shifting system and changed the cycling world forever with the introduction of Grip Shift in 1988. To support this innovation, SRAM invested in the Sachs Bicycle Company in 1997 and built a state of the art manufacturing facility in Schweinfurt Germany. They had the vision and desire to expand their presence in the industry, joining forces with one of the leading MTB suspension companies, RockShox, creating huge excitement in the global cycling community. Not content to stop there, SRAM knew expanding the range with the best brakes, bottom brackets, cranksets and wheels would fine-tune the brand even more. bringing on board Avid, Truvativ and Zipp.

Now that SRAM have achieved total drive train nirvana, they continue to seek and deploy technological and engineering advancements, as they compulsively refine and redefine the pinnacle of the ultimate ride.
